Edwin Garcia says "[The HP 32SII fraction mode] already existed on many
other calculators such as Texas Instruments, Casio, Etc."

No way!  That's like saying "Don't get excited about the HP 48SX's
ability to do unit conversions; Casio's have unit conversions right on
the keyboard!"

Casio's "a b/c" key is so utterly brain dead compared to the 32SII's
FDISP mode that the comparison is ludicrous.

And NOBODY else's calculators take a decimal answer and convert it to its
fractional equivalent.
